I don't judge, do whatever you feel like

Well, it means you are a bit gay here...

Aww...love when people drink their pinky up.

It's been a while since I beat you at anything. It feels good.

Enjoy while it lasts.

Anyway, did 3 laps on your set (esc -> test drive btw) and fastest was 1:37.17. After that I did 3 laps on default race_s as control and the fastest lap was 1:35.70. Major problem with the set you were using is the very hard brakes, personally I prefer less braking force so you can use the full travel of the brake pedal to control any possible locking. So, I'd advise you to change to the race_s, especially if you are using the default hard track setup which is, well, crap.

I think you need to brake harder, and either be on the brake or the throttle. You seem to be coasting before the corners and that is just waste of time, and that also means that you braked too early or slowed too much, in this case not enough sometimes.

I guess the old slow in - fast out is a good advise. Try to figure out how fast you can accelerate from the corners and hit the apex and then find out how late can you brake down to that speed maintaining a good line.

Now to test drive your set and see how is it.

edit. Well, Kev was on it earlier and more detail.

Hungover after a sunday... dude...

It's Tuesday...

Oh, yes, welcome to LFS and all that.

I wonder how this thread had gone if it was made by someone more, let's say someone who had joined last year or later (wanted to say more noob, but that would hint Kev is a lesser noob than others).

Had no idea either.

It's now Clueless Racing. :dopey:

BF2, wonder how it's like, haven't played in ages. Mainly because it runs that bad when it shouldn't really.

Quote from XCNuse :

Whenever we're expecting some kind of fix for one of the cars or graphical update.. we always get a new car, has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?

Hmm...sounds like a cunning plan to keep people distracted from issues they moan about for a while.

Anyways, was going to post something similar on one of the Scirocco threads what Kev did on his opening post. I had it all written, but then I went sod it, it doesn't make any difference and didn't hit the post button. But yes, I agree it's been way too long.

Oh dear, the responses in this thread really remind me why Scavier stopped giving out release dates or estimates. Shut up and go back to bed kids, life is tough.

No, I don't really care about the car that much.

I thought the patent office said he didn't have the trademark for it few days ago, although they might have been bribed since then. ;-)

I think the VW and ABS should be countered with something like this thing.

Feel free to make edits if you like.

The last laps on first wins and top positions in LFS and some battles in LX6. You had this tingling feeling in your legs and your heart rate was way too up, good times.

Super Mario Sunshine. Can't tell a specific part, but it's the only game that has made me physically angry. I actually threw the controller in the corner in frustration.

A bit disappointed Hamilton didn't race in the actual race. Well if he isn't even allowed to race a bicycle how could McLaren let him embaress himself with real cars.

And the yankee in the Abarth goes: OH noes, a corner?!

Don't understand why they need to make the engines less powerful, is it that expensive to have that old 300 the WRC cars now have? I'm all for more simpler and cheaper technology, but do they have to slow the cars down that much.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Actually, how do you figure out where the limit is if you've got ABS reducing the braking force you're applying?

I'm not sure, but atleast my wheel seems to start shake when I tested it in the FZ5. It's a bit weird, as you should feel that with your foot but then nobody has force feedback pedals that would kick them back.

ABS in LFS, that's blasphemy I tell you!

Is there going to be an option for ABS ban, or is that something you need to have some sort of insim thingy for?

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

You can only see so much out of your mirrors, so when you turn your head to one side to look out the back/side windows you generally only get ~90 degrees of head movement, so the rest of the angle is done with your eyes. That is where one might find it difficult to see.

Rotate your upper body and lean out of your seat a bit?

No wonder you guys have never made much good drivers when it seems so hard and complicated to park a car. :P

I can't think any other reason for banning tire warmers than having some "excitement" and passing after pit stops when drivers have to go on the track with cold tires.

Now I hope they can get rid of the two compound tire rule in the race, let's say make it optional? Also they should get rid off the heavy load qualifying session and really start sorting out drivers on based on best times and not fuel tactics. Would make qualifying much more interesting because you'd see absolute results, now you can only guess who is running heavy and who is not.

Standard components sounds a bit worrying. Cutting cost is also a bit hypocrite, when they have been back and forth changing the rules every second season. Time will tell if F1 stays as the pinnacle of motorsport I guess, doesn't look that good.

Second Scirocco skin from me.

Quote from SamH :

I wondered the same thing, actually. The camera movement can be handled exactly like this in InSim, so I suspect Scawen prolly just knocked up a quick InSim routine. That's my guess, anyway

Why not Victor? I thought he is a bit of a coder.

Oh yes, thanks for the answer Scawen.

You surely mean a bonsai tree?

edit. Stumbled on this when making sure I'm correct http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banzai_skydive Now that would be a great gift, would get the adrenaline flowing.
